Penguins everywhere!!

I saw this on my way home from work, and couldn't help but take a pict of it. Have churches gotten to the point that they need a gimmick to get people to come? I can just imagine the church meeting where this was thought up.

Church Deacon: "It will be like March of the Penguins --for Jesus!"

Church Pastor: "How much will it cost?"

Church Deacon: "Don't worry about it. Big Lots is having a plastic penguin sale."

Church Pastor: "Buy them all! Buy them all now!!"

How to install a LaserWriter 630 Pro in Vista

Ok so an old LaserWriter 630 Pro was surplussed out here at work and I decided to pick it up, because I know the things are like tanks. Well that and the fact that I know how to work on the Canon/HP/Apple printer engine without a problem. Anyway lol, I reloaded 32-bit Vista Premium, because Ubuntu/Wine was pissing me off with World of WarCraft, and Guild Wars. I said all that to say this, the Apple Drivers are not included in the Vista install. They are in XP but not in Vista so what the hell. I did some searching on the inter-webs (lol) with out luck so I figured screw it I will use the XP drivers, and damn if it didn't work. Here is how I did it.

  1. Insert XP OS CD, and cancel out of any of the autoplay crap. (Note: In my case I used Disc 1 of my XP Media Center Edition)
  2. Goto Windows logo button (Old Start) -->Control Panel --> Printers
  3. Click "Add Printer"
  4. Select "Local Port" and click "Next"(Note: Only select Network if you are printer sharing to another computer with a LaserWriter)
  5. "LPT 1" and click "Next" (Note:If you are using some type of Print Server you may either need to create a Standard TCP/IP port or select the proprietary port for your printer server.)
  6. In the driver window select "Have Disk"
  7. Click "Browse"
  8. Under "Look In" select your CD-Rom with the Windows CD in it and choose the "i386" folder and click "OK"
  9. After a second of loading, the XP drivers should be listed in which you can select "Apple", and which ever LaserWriter you have.
  10. Finish the "Add Printer Wizard", and boom-bam you have your LaserWriter again!!
I think the Windows 2000 Pro CD will also work the same way, because the driver didn't change between the 2K and XP but I did not test that.

Letting Canon Go



Friday the guys from Canon put together a party for me. First of all this was the first job that a party was ever thrown for me. Actually it is the only party I have ever had. I um....well that was pretty special for me but I'm not gonna get all emotional about this. I just wanna say you never really realize how involved you life is with a place until you leave it. I really truly do miss these guys. I also plan to make a conscious effort to stay in contact with them. Ok now for the stories lol.

Sandie found the pattern, and Dreeny knitted me a well--little Je'aime glove for the cold winters of the Antarctic lol. I will post a pict a bit later but it is awesome lol.

Lets see here, I also got Lance in a bit of trouble by faking wing man on him. Lol. I know Lance is married and Liz is great but the "Buttery Nipples" I had just made me act lol. (Sony, that is a drink I had--that comes in pairs lol. ) I tell you what though, if he was married, he woudl have so been in lol.

Talked with a girlie about her new hubby. Things are going rough with her hubby which I tried to warn her about. The first and second years of marriage are pure hell. You have to get to that point that you understand that you are two different people but no matter what dispute or argument you have, you know that divorce isn't even a concern. Then you can get to the point that you have that type of relationship in which love truly takes over. Marriage takes work. Hard work. If you aren't willing to put the work into it--don't get married!!

Beyond that, jokes flowed. Work stories abounded. And the laugh came until my cheeks hurt. I simply had the time of my life. Thanks so much guys for taking the time to come out. I had an absolute blast.

Oh yeah before I forget, I formally bequeath my harem to Dirk lol. Enjoy buddy lol!!

My last day at Canon

Here is the letter I sent out to all of my Canon friends. You never realize how difficult it is to write something like that until you have to.


Well guys it has been a great 4.5 years. I have made many friends, and have much respect for all of you. Unfortunately the time has come for me to take a different path. I have been debating what I should say in my last letter. I was gonna come up with this cool thing where I used song lyrics, but I decided against it. Then I decided to put in a picture of some of the cool stuff I was going to do in Antarctica, but I dropped that idea too. I dropped them because I didn't want to make a joke out of how much I am truly going to miss this place. I know the customers can get on your nerves, and even the politics of this place can get to you sometimes, but the simple fact is this place has been good to me. I have enjoyed every minute, and it is simply because you all made it all worth it! I am truly thankful for every experience, every trial, and every success because you all were there with me to help keep it fun. So before I drop a big man tear (lol) I just want to say thanks, good luck, and keep in touch. I will truly miss you all.
